Epic is trying to make their own ‘Metaverse’— just wait until Fortnite VR comes out in the near future.
It’s already a place for people to hang out with friends socially and just voice chat, or go to concerts, or go to Escape Rooms, or play music together in Rockband, etc etc.
Epic/Unreal will just keep adding and adding things to their ‘Ready Player One’/OASIS universe.
Yes but theirs is actually pretty fun. Zero Build was a great addition and now they have rock band, racing, prop hunt, and gun game. My friends and I moved to playing it recently and haven't been able to move to a new game since.
I tend to agree. Taking the car physics from their acquisition of Rocket League and putting it into a racing game was a bit of genius. It is the most fun I’ve had in a casual racing game since MarioKart.
And,..that’s kind of my point. Epic/Unreal is acquiring gaming IP (Rockband, Rocket League, etc) and putting all of that into their own Metaverse/OASIS garden.
It’s an interesting Facebook-like strategy they seem to have.
I've ignored Fortnite for years but am suddenly paying attention to after these 2 comments. No building? Rocket League arcade racing? I might actually want to play this, at least to try it out
There is also now a Lego mode too
Rocket League drifting, boosting, racing on the walls and ceilings, rocket jumping over gaps and each other; it’s pretty fucking wild and can get intense. Whatever team they had working on it internally really did a helluva job.
And No Build in Fortnite is the only way to play imho; stripped down and back to the basics.
I hasn't played the Racing until your comment, and wow, that is some fun ass racing. You are right, geniuses.
And it's a crazy strategy and it's interesting to see how well it's working. I can play with my coworkers, friends, and younger family members. I don't have fb at all anymore, so this is where I'm keeping up with people in a way
Right? Someone I knew wasn’t that much into gaming; took them through something really simple like one of the horror/haunted houses; running around like Scooby Doo; we had fun and got to hang out for a bit and just voice chat.
Fortnite VR already exists, it's called Population One and has the worst vr gun controls known to man
Acquired and ruined by Meta, who woulda thunk it.
That's crazy, they've never done that before.
